<p>[QUOTE=&quot;red_spork, post: 2960504, member: 74282&quot;]Fakes are a risk of collecting just about any type of coins and mitigating that risk is part of collecting as well. The best way to do that is to spend as much time studying and handling coins as possible but since many of us don&#039;t have access to a world-class library and collection to study for 10 years before buying our first coin, the second best option is to buy from experienced, reputable dealers such as those on a site like Vcoins or from FORVM or an auction house like NAC, CNG or Agora Auctions and to avoid eBay completely(100% feedback and thousands of sales does not make a seller reputable).</p><p><br /></p><p>That said, even if you only ever buy from the best dealers and auctions you still need to study coins and I cannot stress that point enough. Start by just looking up coins similar to the ones you&#039;re considering buying on ACSearch - if you did that for the Pompey you&#039;d quickly see that it&#039;s totally wrong.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
